You Can Apparently Mute The Talking Flowers In Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Need update for Navi OoT. "Hey! Listen!"

MUTE!

Good it doesn’t seem to ever say anything clever and spoils obvious secrets.

Good to hear (or, rather, not hear). That'll be the first thing I do when I start the game. Found them annoying from the very first trailer.

I wonder if Nintendo is feeling okay. They don't usually like giving us options like this. If they make it where you can disable Easy Mode for Yoshi, whatever condition Nintendo has must be terminal.

We can turn off voice-acting in a Mario game? Who would had thought we want the franchise to continue staying in the 90s.

Thank goodness, I feel like it would have gotten annoying at some point in time, and even if they didn’t im sure there are people who would and seeing how there is literally no harm, I m glad the option exist.

The voices are awful, so I'll probably take nintendo up on the muting

It would be nice to be able to play as Yoshi or Nabbit as a regular character, or switch Mario or one other characters to, "invincible" mode. Options I dig'em man!

While its nice there is an option, I don't get the annoyance from them.

Nope. Not gunna do it.

I kinda want them to taunt the player. If this is a new leaf being turned over by Nintendo to some degree, how about some sass? I feel taunted when Mario 3D World offers me a white tanuki suit. But actual taunting would make me more determined to shut the flowers up the old fashioned way.

Flowers was annoying gonna mute ASAP.

Good. If there are a lot of these things then I could see them getting annoying very quickly, so I'd rather shut them up. Their voice clips so far seem a bit too cheesy for me. Not a fan. So I'm glad you can mute them.

During that Direct I was actually shocked how much repetitive gabbing that flower was doing and thinking “doesn’t Nintendo normally skip voice acting for this very reason”. Lo and behold, a mute option.

I’ll try with banter on for a bit but very likely shut it off when I want to focus on the game.

That is incredibly welcome news because they seem very annoying.

Relieved about this. My primary irritation with the trailer I saw was the flower dialogue. Not interested at all in that kind of thing.

Thank god! Im so relieved.

I’ll wanna hear every single thing those flowers say 😅 I really wanna be able to switch the ‘invincible’ characters, I want to play as Yoshi but not like this. Looking forward to this game, can’t wait.

I was actually wondering about this while watching the Direct. I will probably leave them on or, if I can, change the spoken language to Japanese!!! What I DO hope I can turn off are those horrible word pop-ups when you do a good job. Those will grate me more than the flowers....

If I mute it, how will I know if Goombas look serene?

options are always good!

@Link-Hero I'm with you brother. I'm on team flower. There's something so cheeseball about those flower voices I love.

I need to be condemned passive aggressively for kicking sleeping goombas. Someone has to give Mario a conscience.

First thought after hearing the audio. But who knows maybe I’ll leave on the voices just to be a sport..

I will never mute it.

I'll give them a fair shake, but I can easily see myself getting annoyed by the chatter. Glad the option is there

Haven't really found them that annoying so far, but the option is welcome.
As long as they're not too repetitive, I'm fine with them

Giddy up, this is a pleasant surprise. They were irritating me just in the Direct.

Too cute to mute.

@WhiteTrashGuy «I will probably leave them on or, if I can, change the spoken language to Japanese!!!»
Yeah. I even would be fine if all of them are gonna be voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi.

Oh thank God. Color me on Team Silence.

@JohnnyMind WOOOW! Dual audio option support in a Nintendo game! What a rare thing to happen! Thanks for the info!

@JohnnyMind Seems like it's possible to change flowers' voices only, though... All main characters will speak English, probably.

The flower will be the new Omachoa. I "wonder" if that's a good thing?

This is a neat option, during the direct, whenever the flower spoke i could have swear it was the guy who was narrating the presentation (yes thats how bad i thought it was) even to the point where i said to myself: maybe localization isn't ready just yet and hes making the flowers voice. Anyway, options are always nice.

@JohnnyMind Well, yeah – it's better than nothing.

I'll probably switch the language at least, but what would be neat is if they had an Animal Crossing style talking option if someone wanted some audio without having to hear voiceover.

Speaking of voice that we can activate or deactivate, that Japanese website is funnier than Western websites (if we understand Japanese):

https://www.nintendo.com/jp/switch/aqmxa/index.html

We have the option of activate or deactive flower's voice (and music) on this website. If we choose "On" and scroll down that page, we can hear funny flower's comments, like "Kocchi kocchi" (over here, over here!), "Benri na hana da ne" ("A convenient nose, isn't it?), "Nanika ga okoru. Ki ni suru" ("Something happens. I can feel it"), "Wondeeeeeeeeer!", "Dore ni suru?" ("What to choose?"), or "Mayotcha yo ne?" ("Are you lost?", speaking to newbees who don't know what to do and are not gifted at video games yet).

I'll leave the flowers on for starting but I'm glad there's an option to turn them off if it gets too annoying.

It's not that they talk, they just have weirdly eerie normal person-sounding voices. Like they're the placeholder voice before Martinez (or whoever's replacing him) comes in to give it that distinct Mario flair.

I can see this coming in handy. Now if it only worked in real life....

@Tyranexx FR I would pay for that

Oh thank God it was so annoying in the trailers

This is going to make a lot of people very happy

Next you'll tell me Mario Kart is getting volume controls! Nintendo adding options? What a time to be alive.

Am happy I can disable the flower after hearing it once on the first playthrough.

I think it might be more fun to switch the language to French or something for the flowers. Hopefully alternate language voice acting without changing the text language is an option like it is in BotW.

Is there an option to turn them up?

Thank goodness! While they do seem to liven up the experience I can easily seen them becoming quite annoying!

I'm probably gonna keep the sound on for the flowers.

thank goodness the talking flowers can be played, no one to be interrupted when trying to get a dificult item

@Serpenterror Nintendo tried voice acting in Super Mario Sunshine and was horrible

First go around they can talk all they want, I want to hear it. If there's a second time around, I'll just read what they say.

From what I've seen so far it is very likely I will shut them up, but I will at least start and play the game normally at first. I'll give them a chance before silencing them, but sooner or later I think it's inevitable. I'm glad this option is available because one of the first things I thought when watching the trailer was not only how stupid the idea of a talking flower was... but how annoying it could potentially get, especially considering I did not like what I heard of its voice.

The flowers sound cute, definitely more tolerable than Mario's constant wahoo-ing. I've been a Nintendo and Mario fan ever since the NES, but it can get pretty grating at times.
